Gausman (3-2) picked up the win over the Rays on Friday, allowing two runs on 11 hits over 7.1 innings while striking out six.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander threw 86 of 107 pitches for strikes, and while Gausman managed only one 1-2-3 inning on the night, he was mostly able to wiggle out of the jams the Rays' barrage of singles created. He's now delivered quality starts in five of his last six outings, and he'll take a 3.18 ERA into his next trip to the mound Wednesday at home against the Phillies.

Gausman (2-2) gave up one run on five hits and three walks in Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The single run Gausman allowed came off a solo home run hit by John Hicks in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old has now put together three consecutive outings in which he's allowed two runs or less, lowering his ERA from 6.60 to 4.15 in that time. Although he struck out just four batters in his latest victory, Gausman has started to show the upside that fantasy owners hoped he would deliver. His next start projects to be Saturday against Oakland.

Gausman (1-2) took a hard-luck loss against the Indians on Monday, giving up two earned runs on four hits over eight innings, striking out seven and walking one in Baltimore's 2-1 defeat.
EDGE Analysis
After getting lit up for six earned runs by the Twins in his first outing of the season, Gausman has righted the ship, with the strong showing against Cleveland representing his third consecutive quality start. His 4.66 ERA and 1.31 WHIP are still a bit bloated thanks to that rough showing to begin the season, but his strong body of work since then and his 26:7 K:BB suggests that the right-hander is on a positive trajectory in terms of his fantasy potential. He'll look to keep it rolling in his next start on Saturday against the Tigers.

Gausman (1-1) came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's loss to the Tigers, allowing two runs on nine hits over six innings while striking out four.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander threw 64 of 97 pitches for strikes but got a little too much of the plate at times, as both runs came off solo shots by Jeimer Candelario and Miguel Cabrera. Gausman's now delivered two straight quality starts, shaving his ERA down to 5.57 in the process. He'll look to keep his momentum going Monday at home against Cleveland.

Gausman (1-1) allowed three runs on six hits and three walks with seven strikeouts over six innings in a win Wednesday over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman lasted into the sixth inning for the first time in three starts, a great sign for an Orioles team that will need him to go deeper in games as the year progresses. He generated 14 swinging strikes in 106 pitches, and that swing-and-miss ability was the key to Gausman's ability to work around three walks. Gausman still has an ugly 6.60 ERA, but this was a step in the right direction.

Gausman came away with a no-decision in Friday's extra-inning win over the Yankees, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over five innings while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander threw 61 of 96 pitches for strikes while generating 11 swinging strikes, and Gausman left the game in line for the win before Didi Gregorius launched a game-tying homer off Miguel Castro in the eighth inning. Gausman's 8.00 ERA in two starts isn't pretty, but he'll take a respectable 8:3 K:BB through nine innings into his next start Wednesday at home against the Blue Jays.

Gausman (0-1) gave up six runs on seven hits and two walks over four innings in Sunday's loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman's season debut didn't go well, as three of the seven hits he surrendered were home runs. Although he managed to log five strikeouts, Minnesota was able to reach base and score with ease, keeping Gausman from reaching the five-inning mark. While hopes remain intact that he can approach his 2016 form, in which he posted a 3.61 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 30 starts, Sunday's lackluster effort remains a disappointment. Gausman will look to get on track when he takes the mound Friday against the Yankees.

Gausman will toe the rubber for Sunday's series finale against Minnesota, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman will follow Dylan Bundy and Andrew Cashner in the rotation for the Orioles' opening series. During 34 starts with the team last year, he posted a 4.68 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with a 179:71 K:BB over a career-high 186.2 innings.

Gausman (head) threw three shutout innings and struck out five batters Saturday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman didn't show any signs of being bothered by the collision he was involved in last week, as he tossed three perfect innings Saturday. This was a significant improvement over his first game of the spring, during which he gave up five runs on six hits and a walk over a mere 1.1 innings.

Gausman (head) is still scheduled to start Saturday's spring game against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was a little banged up after colliding with Jeimer Candelario in Monday's contest, but it seems like the issues won't take him off his original pitching schedule. Gausman escaped the incident with just cuts and bruises (i.e. no concussion), so this likely won't hamper him once the regular season rolls around.
